Allure Beauty Box August 2015 Spoilers

Is anyone else being double charged? I have a charge for $15.94 from beautybar.com AND $15.94 from Conde Nast…And they don’t answer my emails….ever.

Don’t like that the B&B cream has Methylparaben and Propylparaben in it.
But everything else looks pretty neat. Haven’t gotten box yet, hope to soon!

Absolutely IN LOVE with the Butter polish (I got the violet). I normally wouldn’t have picked that color, but on my nails, topped with Julep’s Freedom Polymer… WOW!! Absolutely awesome color!!! I gave away the cleanser to my sister who has oily/acne prone skin. The BB smoothing creme isn’t suited for my extra thick hair, but I love rubbing it into my hair just to help soothe the flyaways, and it smells good.

I was super excited to try the eye liner until I saw it. I really had to squeeze just to get a drop out to try it. I have noticed this is becoming a pattern with Allure. Other than the sizes I love these boxes. I always get things I’m excited to try.

I loved the box. They gave good description on what type of hair would most benefit from the Bumble & Bumble hair cream and finally my hair type is one of them! Planning to try this weekend & am exciting based on all it could do for my hair type. Loved the shampoo, it made my hair feel squeaky clean (expected from peppermint in it) & loved smell & lather. Considering buying full size. Got purple-blue polish which young adult daughter will get & love. Haven’t tried cleanser but will this week. Tried the Nuance product & was pleasantly surprised – definitely light weight, felt good on face & throat.
Overall I am pleased with the box!

Worst customer service ever.
I subscribed to allure beauty box on July 17th, hoping I’d get that box but after 10 days of sending out several emails on shipping info I decided the customer support was ridiculous and cancelled on July 27th.
I only just got a response today via email (August 7th) that due to my cancellation I wasn’t going to get the July box.
I though, hey…at least I’d get the August box as my card had still been charged.
Called them today and apparently I’m not going a box, at all. And they couldn’t refund me.
So I paid for…….nothing.
Ridiculous.
I’ll never recommend this sub to anyone.

I love Butter, so I would have been happy with this!

Does anyone know how to cancel this box ?! Thank you

This is only my second Allure box but I have loved them both. Wish I’d subscribed at a time that I could feel reasonably disappointed with the last two. I will use everything in this box but am very glad I got the pink polish instead of the purple. I love the B&B products. Yes, the eyeliner is incredibly small and does feel more like a throw-away item. I think the sizes of the other samples makes up for it, though.

I’m with the minority of people here who liked this box! This has always been one of my favorites just because they usually send items that are great to try and practical! It’s definitely not the best month value wise but I’ve had months like that with other subscriptions. For those who are disappointed or think they can’t swap what was in the August box, maybe consider donating your box to a local women’s shelter! 🙂

this is weird but my box came without the shampoo! I checked and rechecked and it’s not in the box. I am happy with all the products though!

Ohhhh my first shout out on MSA!!! hahaha Thanks Liz!! =)

I actually really like this box as well! While I agree the value of the items are not on the high size, I will actually use every single thing in here except the face cream (uber sensitive skin). To me that makes the value of the box higher than having a higher product value of things Ill just swap out. Id rather have $25 of products Ill use than $50 of products I wont.

I really liked the box. For me, it’s not so much about value, but about things I will actually use. I’m almost confused by the reasons people don’t like it, because skin, hair, and nail products are a staple of this particular box. It’s never been super makeup heavy, so I’m not sure what they were expecting? Well, I’ll keep subscribing as long as they keep sending boxes like this, where I’ll use every item save the tiny eye liner.

I cancelled kloverbox, beautyfix and suspended boxycharm in the last 2 months. I am on the verge to cancel on this one. This is a horrible box for me. I will have to decide before the end of the month. As far as for beauty boxes, I only have PV, goodebox, birchbox and Glossybox left. Had Glossybox not come in a box that I can reuse, it might have been cancelled already. Lol.

I may be one of the only ones but I really like the box. I have read a lot about Salmas face products but was hoping one of my many sub boxes would send a sample someday so I could try before I buy. So pretty happy. And I love the purple polish for my toes!

I re-subbed but I’m canceling again. This is a 10 dollar box in my opinion. It’s no better than any of my 10 dollar subs. I can’t condone keeping it. I liked the color of the nail polish but that was it. Got enough polish and the only sample I’m happy to try is the peppermint shampoo. I agree with others on the lack of value. I have ipsy, birchbox, boxycharm, glossybox, beautyfix by dermstore and lipmonthly. I do get julep off and on, 3 mths at a time so it’s 19, there’s only so much polish I need. otherwise those are my top boxes

This box was really meh for me. I won’t use most of what they sent, but what really gets me is the value seems so low.

I’m allergic to mint so I’m afraid to try the peppermint shampoo, face creams tend to break me out so I don’t want to risk it, and the Bumble & Bumble Grooming Creme doesn’t work as well as other products I have. I got the nail polish in a pink color, and while I like the brand, I have so many pinks already.

I will use the cleanser and the eyeliner, but the eyeliner sample is so tiny it’s pretty pointless. I’ll probably cancel.

I’m interested in the eye cream, the grooming cream, shampoo, cleanser and nail polish if it’s shade I like. The Benefit eye liner sounds like a joke. It doesn’t take much eyeliner to do your eyes so I don’t see why they couldn’t have sent a more sensible size. I had already planned to cancel after this month’s box so this will be my last Allure box for a while. I’m also canceling Beauty Fix and will just stick with Boxy Charm for now.

I LOVE THIS BOX! I’m really interested in trying everything this month.
The skincare items alone are making me so happy. I’ve been eyeing that Gel Cleanser for months now and wishing that I would get it in an Ipsy bag, but I never did.
I do hope I get the pink/mauve nail polish instead of the purple, but I’d still use it up if I got it. Even if the liner is really small, we’d usually only get 5 items with the old subscriptions anyway, so I’m thinking of it as a freebie. 🙂

I guess I’m in the minority. I loved this box. I love the pink polish color I got,I adore the Bumble and Bumble hair cream,I love the Nuance face cream,the Avene cleanser is one of my favorites, I had no problem with the small eyeliner since it’s perfect for the gym bag and the shampoo smells great and feels nice and refreshing on a hot Summer day. Another great Allure box imo.

This was my first Allure box and it came on Monday.
I won’t use the purple nail polish. I don’t need anti-aging cream. The Benefit eye liner sample is ridiculously small that there is no benefit getting it!! Benefit should be ashamed for sending those 4 drops of eye liner.

I would have had more fun burning my money under smores than getting this Allure box.

I am going to cancel. This doesn’t seem any better than Sample Society.

Had already watched an unboxing on you tube last night…those ladies film quick. Happy about the Nuance and like the nail.polish. The other products will be given away most likely. I’d rather give stuff away then let it pile up and go unused.

I thought it was just ok. I already received the cleanser in my Ipsy bag last month and I was super excited about the eyeliner but not so much when I saw how small the sample was (epic fail). I’ve been wanting to try a purple shade of polish so that was well, perfect! Very excited about the anti-aging cream not so much about the shampoo. Shampoo just isn’t exciting to me to receive. I am looking forward to trying the Bumble & Bumble as their hair primer I received last month in several boxes was amazing, high hopes for this product.

Did anyone else have a bad reaction to the Estee Lauder eye serum from last month? The mascara is great. But the eye serum caused rashes and swelling under and around my eyes and burning and tearing so badly I couldn’t drive for 3 days. I don’t have sensitive skin and am not allergic to anything so I have no clue what was in that serum.
